Sepioloidea lineolata or more commonly known as the striped pyjama squid or the striped dumpling squid is a type of bottletail squid that inhabits the Indo-Pacific Oceans of Australia. The striped pyjama squid lives on the seafloor, often hiding in the sand. When fully mature, a striped pyjama squid will only be about 7 to 8 centimetres (2.8 to 3.1 in) in length. Baby striped pyjama squid can be smaller than 10 millimetres (0.39 in).
